Quantitative analysis of foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA duration in tissues of experimentally infected pigs
Quantitative analysis of the duration of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) RNA in tissues was carried out in pigs experimentally infected with FMDV O UKG 34/2001 and O SKR 1/2000.
The effect of dietary laminarin and fucoidan in the diet of the weanling piglet on performance, selected faecal microbial populations and volatile fatty acid concentrations
An experiment was performed to investigate the effects of seaweed extracts, laminarin (derived ß-glucans) and fucoidan (sulphated polysaccharides) independently or in combination on post-weaning piglet performance and selected microbial populations.
Porcine parvovirus- and porcine circovirus 2-associated reproductive failure and neonatal mortality in crossbred Indian pigs
Results of this study suggest for the first time occurrence of PPV and coinfection with PCV2 in crossbred Indian pigs affected with reproductive problem and neonatal mortality.
Diagnostic tests for pleuropneumonia (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae) (2/2)
The best approach is to submit dead pigs or live affected pigs to the diagnostic laboratory for post-mortem examination.
Russia - African Swine Fever at Russian-Ukrainian border
Following the detection of African swine fever [ASF] in Gukovo, measures have been undertaken by Rosselkhoznadzor.
Invasion of endothelial cells by systemic and nasal strains of Haemophilus parasuis
Invasion of endothelial cells is a virulence mechanism of H. parasuis that may be related to the ability of some strains to cause meningitis.
Diagnostic tests for pleuropneumonia (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae) (1/2)ae
There are 15 recognised serotypes of APP (designated 1 – 15) that greatly differ in their virulence potential.
China - Foot and mouth disease in swine
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has reported a new outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in pigs in China.
Swine influenza virus reassorted with Pandemic H1N1 virus isolated from pig
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) had found in its regular influenza virus surveillance programme that one sample taken from a pig at the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse on January 7 contained a virus which was essentially a swine influenza virus but had picked up a pandemic H1N1 gene by genetic reassortment. There is no cause for alarm for public health and pork remains safe for consumption. Government is closely monitoring developments and shall continue to keep the public informed.
Proof of concept for the reduction of classical swine fever infection in pigs by a novel viral polymerase inhibitor
This study provides the first proof of concept for the prophylaxis/treatment of CSFV infection in pigs.
The third European Porcine Circovirus Research Award honours scientists from Spain and Denmark
Diseases associated with PCV2 infection (PCVD) belong to the most devastating diseases in swine worldwide. Fortunately, since a few years, losses attributed to this disease complex can be controlled very effectively by vaccinating piglets.
Postweaning Wasting Catabolic Syndrome (PWCS)
The cause of PWCS is unknown. Clinically, PWCS waxes and wanes in affected farms, and is not predictable. The majority of pigs with PWCS die, increasing mortality in 3 to 9 week old pigs from 1-2% to 6-10% on most affected farms.
Progressive Zoning Approach in the Final Phase of FMD Control and Eradication in the Philippines (2/2)
As a result of dedicated implementation of guidelines for the progressive zoning approach, the zero case scenarios was sustained to date, with continuous complementation of stricter animal movement management and sustained cooperation of all concerned stake holders. Luzon at present is virtually divided into three zones.
